Re: 回复: [PATCH v2] drm/amdgpu: Fix a race of IB test

Keep in mind that we don't try to avoid contention here. The goal is rather to have as few locks as possible to avoid the extra overhead in the hot path.

Contention is completely irrelevant for the debug and device reset since that are rarely occurring events and performance doesn't matter for them.

It is perfectly reasonable to take the write side of the reset lock as necessary when we need to make sure that we don't have concurrent device access.

Christian.

There are other interfaces to emulate the exact reset process, or atleast this is not the one we are using for doing any sort of reset through debugfs.

In any case, the expectation is reset thread takes the write side of the lock and it's already done somewhere else.

Reset semaphore is supposed to protect the device from concurrent access (any sort of resource usage is thus protected by default). Then the same logic can be applied for any other call and that is not a reasonable ask.

That's complete nonsense.

The debugfs interface emulates parts of the reset procedure for testing and we absolutely need to take the same locks as the reset to avoid corruption of the involved objects.

This is a debugfs interface and adding another writer contention in debugfs over an actual reset is lazy fix. This shouldn't be executed in the first place and should not take precedence over any reset.

NAK, this is not the lazy way to fix it at all.

The reset semaphore protects the scheduler and ring objects from concurrent modification, so taking the write side of it is perfectly valid here.

yep, that is a lazy way to fix it.

I am thinking of adding one amdgpu_ring.direct_access_mutex before we issue test_ib on each ring.

Direct IB submission should be exclusive. So use write lock.

There are many ioctls and debugfs calls which takes this lock and as you know the purpose is to avoid them while there is a reset. The purpose is
*not to* fix any concurrency issues those calls themselves have
otherwise and fixing those concurrency issues this way is just lazy and
not acceptable.

This will take away any fairness given to the writer in this rw lock and
that is supposed to be the reset thread.

Lijo
